Natalie's First "Day"cation

July 29th
With Natalie only 3 months old, it was next to impossible to go on a family vacation this summer. We decided to do a mini-vacation and go to St. Augustine for the day. It's not too far away, and we love to spend time there! It was an extremely hot day, but we walked around St. George Street and went in some of the shops. We made the most of the hot weather by going to the newly opened Pirate and Treasure Museum! The collection of artifacts is one of the largest in the world. Natalie really enjoyed the museum- it was cool, dark, and perfect for a nap in the stroller! I'm very surprised she was able to sleep through the cannon fire. We had a treasure map and had to find 12 drawers with skulls on the outside. Gabriel wrote down what was in each drawer and turned in the map at the end for a souvenir sticker! It is an interactive museum, great for kids and adults.
